King Baller
All-Star
The Kings are not a Farm Team for the “contenders”. Bucks have to pay if they want Bogs. I’m thinking a useful young player and a mid FRP.
I believe you misunderstood me. I am not suggesting that a player drafted by Milwaukee might refuse to play for the Kings.
I am saying that because the draft comes before free agency, the Kings and the Bucks in principle can't talk to Bogdan before the draft about his free agency preferences. Neither team would know whether Bogdan wants to agree to a sign-and-trade with the Bucks prior to the #24 pick being made. This makes designing sign-and-trades that involve the #24 tricky, because the Bucks may not select a player the Kings want. The Kings could tell the Bucks who they want, but if the Bucks don't think a trade is likely, they might pick a different guy that the Kings aren't interested in. At that point, the Kings might decide that Milwaukee's return package isn't good enough, and not make a S&T.
Because they are over the salary cap and can't offer more than the MLE, and we'll obviously match that. With respect to a potential Bucks pursuit of Bogdan, the Kings have the overwhelming upper hand in the situation.
Ah I see. Well that's on me then for failing to do my research! At this point I just can't be bothered, but your consistent attention to detail is appreciated as always. That makes this a rather bizarre rumor. So Milwaukee has every intention of doing a thing that they currently are unable to do? Okay guys, excuse me while I try to unroll my eyes...
Also, I did look up Milwaukee's contract situation now and threw up in my mouth a bit when I saw how much they're paying Khris Middleton. If I'm in the Milwaukee front office and I just watched my unbeatable regular-season juggernaut get exposed in the playoffs yet again I would be worried about how I'm going to be able to afford an enormous MVP-worthy Giannis extension in the near future not dumping salary to free up space to then overpay a pretty good role-player. If the Bucks have now entered that awkward phase where they're actively sabotaging their own future in a desperate bid to convince the superstar they drafted and developed to stick around, they've already lost. I can't recall an example of this type of panic buying turning out well for an NBA executive. If Giannis is not going to commit to them long-term unless they can prove right now that they're a legit contender, they might be better off shopping him for max value and reshuffling the deck.
The MLE is supposed to be about $9.7M, so call it $10M. In today's market, that's a steal for Bogdan. It doesn't matter that we've already got Buddy locked up, if Bogdan miraculously signed a contract for the MLE, we would have to instantly match it. We offered him an extension last offseason that started at like $15-16M if I recall, and he declined, so I'd say that him accepting an MLE is an unlikely turn of events anyway.
I think they missed Malcolm Brogdon far more than they expected. Not surprising that they're interested in a similar player like Bogdanovic.
If DDV is better than Bogi already, why would they make the deal?
I agree , I really cant imagine Kings taking on that much salary for middletonI think that something to consider going forward is that many or most teams are not going to want to add salary because of the uncertainty of fans in the arenas and all that goes with COVID.......I think there is a better chance at a Bogi deal when not involving Barnes but who knows with the new GM.
Do you really think they’d punt on Middleton who is the only other offensive firepower that they have next to Giannis? Hmm I don’t see it tbh...but just meSo if they want HB also (22 Mil) and S&T Bogie (15Mil) how to match salary?
They would have to get us to take Middleton (33Mil) ? (What an awful contract to take on)
Plus HB contract goes down each year(22,20.18) and Middleton goes up(33,35,38,40)
What if they gave us DDV (3Mil), Middleton (33M) and we get 2020 #24 Pick and their 2021 1st rd pick
Hmmmm it adds 86 mil in salary Middle for HB, but both good SF,
If we match Bogi sheet we are at 37m for HB and Bogie anyway
We are gonna loose Bogi anyway, but we get DDV and 2 picks?
I don’t think that really moves the needle enough. You’d just be hoping donte or #24 could replicate Bogi level production for us and I think the fit and chemistry needs to be considered as well...I agree , I really cant imagine Kings taking on that much salary for middleton
So back to the DDV,Ersan, and #24 for S&T Bogie
Works for me
And the rumors show you where the trade market will likely be when it comes to the Kings pieces. The Bucks think they can get Barnes and Bogdan cheap and let the Kings to take on salary in the process. Congrats Kings, you've backed yourself into a nice, tight, and interesting corner this time.
It's no corner at all. The Bucks, or perhaps more precisely Bucks fans and Bucks journalists, think they can cheat the Kings. So what? If a guy comes up to me randomly on the street and offers to buy my car (which is not even advertised for sale) for $20, has he backed me into a corner? Or do I blow him off?
I’d love to have Bledsoe. This means we probably move Hield for a SF or PF....right? We would have a glut of guards and very thin at SFhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/bucks-eyeing-bogdan-bogdanovic-victor-oladipo/ar-BB1aN6mo
Possible trade scenario:
The above trade could be appealing to both teams. Milwaukee lands a strong guard, who averaged 15.1 points this season on 44 percent shooting and hit 37.2 percent from beyond the arc, and a reliable forward in Barnes.
- Sacramento Kings receive: Ersan Ilyasova, Eric Bledsoe, Donte DiVincenzo, 24th pick in 2020 NBA Draft
- Milwaukee Bucks receive: Harrison Barnes, Bogdan Bogdanovic
In exchange, the Kings acquire the No. 24 pick to land some young talent, Ilyasova’s expiring contract and bolster their bench with DiVincenzo. While they take on Bledsoe’s contract ($25 million over the next two seasons), he is owed just $3.9 million in 2022 compared to Barnes’ $18.35 million guaranteed.
While I would take this scenario, I dont see how the salaries could match Ersan 7m, Bledsoe 17m, DDV 3 m only 27m vs
HB 22m and S&T Bogie 15m is 37M ?

They literally have no cap space and no draft assets left. Aside from DiVincenzo they have no real young pieces of worth either.Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
Sources: The Bucks will pursue a sign-and-trade for Kings restricted free agent Bogdan Bogdanovic. He'd be another huge addition following the addition of Jrue Holiday. The Hawks will also pursue Bogdanovic, but the Bucks can sell him on competing for a championship with Giannis.
David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc
One of the three firsts Milwaukee is sending New Orleans in the Jrue Holiday trade is the Bucks’ first-rounder in Wednesday’s draft (number 24 overall), per league sources. The Pelicans already have the 13th overall pick in the first round.

Make the trade happen DiVincenzo is an elite defender at a young age. We have no use for Bogi
